The communityâs response after Valparaisoâs Memorial Opera House announced its reopening recently was immediate for its executive director, Scot PJ MacDonald, and his staff.
âOur phones have been ringing like crazy,â he said. âWe all have overflowing email inboxes right now. Itâs great. Itâs the kind of crazy Iâll take any day.â
Celebrating Memorial Opera Houseâs reopening with a Memorial Day Concert at 3 p.m. May 31, Memorial Opera Houseâs stage was last lit last winter with their production of âMary Poppins.â Two weeks following their staging of the musical, the venue, like all other Region-based theater companies, closed indefinitely as a result of the pandemic.
